Hybrid breeding in barley ( L.) offers great opportunities to accelerate the rate of genetic improvement and to boost yield stability.A crucial requirement consists of the efficient selection of superior hybrid combinations.We used comprehensive phenotypic and genomic data from a commercial breeding program with the goal of examining the potential
The Achillea millefolium L.is a perennial herb with important antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antitumoral, and antioxidant properties.This research aimed to investigate the effect of shading (75%; black net) and nitrogen fertilization (0, 75 and 150 kg urea ha-1) on the nitrogen metabolism, essential oil yield and antimicrobial activi
Amathillopsidae is a widely distributed, but rarely sampled family of deep-sea amphipods.During a recent expedition to the North Atlantic, specimens were filmed clinging to a polychaete tube in situ at abyssal depths by a Remote Operated Vehicle and then sampled for further study.The species was new to science and is described in detail herein.A ba
Based on the concepts of “word-of-mouth” effect and viral marketing, the diffusion of an innovation may be triggered starting from a set of initial users.Estimating the influence spread is a preliminary step to determine a suitable or even optimal set of initial users to reach a given goal.In this paper, we focus on a stochastic model
